The blower can be activated during defrosting upon request. The sensor is suitable for refrigera- tion. The control unit FR4.1 is suitable for refrigeration as well as heating applications (only hot-gas heating). Supply voltage may be between 10 and 28V.
Installation and mounting The control unit FR4.1 shall be mounted on panel in a 71x29 mm hole and fixed by the fastening frame. For a faultless operation the ambient temperature should be between 0 und 50 ° C. Please avoid intense vibration, aggressive gases, high fouling or humidity.
Delivery state/factory setting of control unit FR4.1 will be as follows: Refrigeration with hot-gas defrosting! (see point 7.1. on page 11) Refer to the Konvekta set values in column „ factory setting.” from the enclosed parameter list (see point 8 page 12 to 18)! 11002347AA date of change: 20.08.2014...
Mains operation: Plug in power plug Switching-on the refrigeration unit by button of FR4.1 Press button for 3 seconds. The display shows “Pr2” blinking, afterwards the current room tem- perature will be indicated. Indication and change of setpoint Press button once, alternately blinking appear „SP“...
In case of use as a chilling unit the parameter „S.LS” has to be adjusted to 0! Sampling of operating hours Switch-on control unit FR4.1 with button Press button once. Now the total operating hours of the refrigeration unit will be indicated for approx.
If you replace a FR1, FR2 or FR3 with the FR4 and the external ON-OFF-button should be used furthermore or further instruments such as temperature recorder or heating should be switched on together with the FR4.1 by an external button, you have to change parameter „ t.UF“ in group „ t.S“...
Otherwise risk of damages to compressor. 6 Control of defrosting Factory setting of control unit FR4.1 is hot-gas defrosting. In case of use in refrigeration units with recirculated air defrosting the following parameters have to be changed: parameter „d.dt“ in group „...
7 Configuration of the parameters with “FR 4 copy-key” FR4 copy-key: Konvekta part no. H11-001-396-C for FR4, FR4.1 and FR4 Pharma The unit has a plug socket. Via this plug socket the operating parameters are transmitted from and to the unit. For this the FR4 copy-key with 5-pole plug is used. The FR4 copy-key is used for fac- tory programming of units that should have the same parameter configuration, or for a backup of the programming of a unit so that this can be reconstructed quickly if required.
